    i runs dump-0.4b41 on RedHat WS 4.0 with SELinux

    dump -u0 -b 60 -M -f /root/stdev /dev/hda1

    changed some file

    dump -u2 -b 60 -M -f /root/st /dev/hda1

    then started with restore

    mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1
    mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
    cd /mnt/hda1
    restore -b 60 -r -f /root/stdev

    restore -b 60 -r -f /root/st

    it found errors on the second cmd.

      I'm not sure this is a problem with EA, more likely some dump corruption. It could be a bug in dump or some operator error.

      > dump -u0 -b 60 -M -f /root/stdev /dev/hda1

      So you do a multi-volume dump ? What are /root/stdev and /root/st ? Special devices or normal files ? Why are there two of them instead of one ?

      Do you have enough space in /tmp (if you don't you can override the location of some free space in TMPDIR) ?

      Stelian.

      /root/stdev and /root/st is just on harddisk! just normal files.
      i am sure that TMPDIR has enough space.

      i forgot the param in dump
      dump -u0 -b 60 -B 600000 -M -f /root/stdev /dev/hda1

      dump -u2 -b 60 -B 600000 -M -f /root/st /dev/hda1

      i check with
      [root@(none) Full]# restore -b 60 -M -f 20060331133730.000/stdev -t /usr/bin/ccexample

      The RSTTMP directories are not on the tape, they are temporary names used by restore when restoring in some special cases (when a directory got moved for example).

      So it is perfectly normal that you won't find them inside the backup when listing with -t.
